CM election
LAHORE
The Lahore High Court on Tuesday directed that President Arif Alvi and newly appointed Punjab Governor Muhammad Baligh Ur Rehman be made parties in the case challenging Hamza Shahbaz’s elections as chief minister. The five-member larger bench of the LHC headed by Chief Justice Ameer Bhatti resumed the hearing on separate pleas against Hamza’s election as CM. At the outset of today’s hearing, Azhar Siddique, PTI’s counsel, argued that the National Assembly speaker cannot administer the oath to a chief minister.
